THE INDIAN oCEsTIoN.

A large portion of Round Valley, in the northern part of this state, was some years ago set aside as an Indian reser- vstion. Oilate some white settlers, main. ly sheep and csttlemen, have located there. Complaint being made on behalf of the Indians, the War Department or dered General Howard to remove the whites. and to carry out that purpose Capt. Shaw, of the regular army, with 8 detachment of troops, was dispatched to Round Valley.
 In the meantime the settlers applied to the state courts and obtained writ of injunction, which writ was placed in the sheriff of Mendocino county. Thus armed, the sheriff started in pursuit of Capt Shaw with the intention of effect ing his arrest.
 Now, it was the plain duty of the sher- if io arrest Capt. Shaw, and it was the plain duty of Capt. Shaw not to submit to arrest. Here was a dilemma out of which no peacesble way seemed to lead, and winch must have ended in blood shed were II not for the intervention Of the Secretary of War, who ordered the military out of Round Valley.
 A few weeks ago 6 parallel case Oc- cured in Arizona, and, as the great farther west fills up with population, such cases are likely to multiply.
 It IS 6 notorious fact that the old-time management of the Indian question the military msnsgement-is repugnsni to the people of the states and territo- rIes of the West Coast. It has lacked the an-poverful essential of success. II failed with the NeL Perces, it failed with the Klsmsths and Modocs. and, SC far ss Arizona is concerned, were it not for the blood and treasure 1t has cost, il might well be shgmstized roaring farce, This is casting no reflection upon the military ''personel" in Arizona or else where. The several officers in com mBnd, have performed all thst was re- quired of them. and they have accom- plIshed all that the circumstances of the case would permit. So far ss & final settlement of the Indian problem is con- cerned. failure and disaster must inhere in any attempt st solution by means of the old-time military plan.
 Take the military away. Place the Indians upon level with other men force them to work or die-and the peo- pie of the several states and territoues of the Far West, by the oold and Un- swervinE machinery of law, will soon brlng the red-skinned despersdoes 10 terms, and forever settle the Indian auestion.-L.

began to deliver his charge 10 ths
jury.
The following Is a synopsis Of the
charge:
The defendant Is charged here
with murder in the FIRST degree. The
law has divided this species Of
crime into two degrees OF murder,
and fOu, degrees Of manslauehter.r -
After defining these six degrees at
length, the law Of justifiable and ex-
CIsable homicide was dwelt upon
aad defined.
II n reasonable doubt exists in the
minds uf the jury, or a lack Of moral
certainty, you must aequit the de-
fendant, or you can find him guilty
In any other degree heretofore men,
toned. II there is doubt as Ia
hich degree, you must find in the
d.gree Of which you have the least
diubt. Tie rule j. to always give
the defendant the benefit Of all
doubts.
As TO self defense, the defendant
ust have had reasonable ground
to believe he was in danger Of his
life, or Of great personal injury, and
such belief must be well-founded.
The motives the defendant might
have had must be considered. and
also The hatred, friendship, and in
terest of the witnesses, aud the jury
ar the judges of the credibility Of
the witnesses, believing or disbe-
lieving whom they see tit.
The charge occupied nearly an
hour in its delivery, and if space al
lows we will produce the same Is
full tomorrow.
The argument OF the counsel to
the jury then commenced, and will
probably continue most OF tO-mor-
row.

WHAT city in Kansas can show as
COOL results as Salina? Can any show
better? There is not one more pros
perous-shall we say as prosperous &?
Salina has not heretofore, nor is she
now, making much fuss about her
phenomenal growth. Like other
cities that have had experience, "
she once played with bOoms and
b0Omlets; hut she has now put these
lnfantile fancies aside, and settled
down to a substantial, never-gO-
backward growth, as substantial and
enduring as the granite hills.
She has grown so rapidly and for 30
long period that she has become
accustomed TO growing, and does
not shrek when q growing pain is
felt. Our TeOple look upon her re-
markable progress as a matter Of
course. They have all read the
handwriting on the wall which
speaks Of her continued greatness
and unending progress. But while
they are proud Of the city Of their
adoption and pleased with its brill
liant present and glittsFing future,
they are not in the slightest degree
selfish. They wish their neighbor.
ing cities one aud all a prosperous
season and with laughing, eyes and
merry smiles will join with them
next Christmas day TO examine what
the year has put in their stockings.
Salina is not stuck up,if she Is hand
some aud wears diamonds. She is a
queen, but Is democratic enough 10
smile sweetly upon her plebeian
neighbOrs.
